Inflation ISN'T at some DOOMSDAY level people. So when we say AFFLUENT people are now flocking to Walmart. THIS is NONSENSE. NO ONE WHO IS AFFLUENT IS GOING TO WALMART BECAUSE OF INFLATION OR ANY OTHER CURRENT ECONOMIC REASON. They may be going because they're frugal or because they like their products.
